Lung volume reduction surgery: Optimising outcomes & expanding indications
Sunday, 16 March 2025
12:30 - 13:30
Location: Harris Room level1
Learning objectives
The aims of this session on lung volume reduction surgery are to understand how to optimise patient outcomes, particularly with regards to air leak management, and how to extend the indications for patient selection. Experience from two of the largest lung volume reduction centres in Europe will be used to illustrate these points.
